**[00:02] ---**
What was that about the Oniwaban Group
or the legendary manslayer?
**[00:06] ---**
The true strongest is yours truly!
**[00:09] ---**
There is nothing more wonderful
in this world than money!
**[00:12] ---**
Die!
**[00:13] ---**
What the hell is that?
**[00:15] ---**
A Gatling gun!
**[00:19] ---**
Shikijo!
**[00:20] ---**
- Wha—
- Now!
**[00:21] ---**
Run, Battosai!
**[00:25] ---**
Which... Which one should be the target?
**[00:33] ---**
Damn it, I'll start off
with the immobile Aoshi!
**[00:36] ---**
I won't let you do that!
**[00:37] ---**
Eat this!
**[00:39] ---**
Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat!
**[00:44] ---**
Shikijo!
**[02:18] ---**
EPISODE 13:
BATTLE'S END
**[02:24] ---**
Shikij—
**[02:25] ---**
Whoa. Don't look at me like that.
**[02:28] ---**
That's so not like you.
**[02:30] ---**
I'm pretty satisfied.
**[02:33] ---**
I was able to prove that my muscles,
**[02:36] ---**
my pride and joy that I
even took drugs to obtain,
**[02:40] ---**
could become a shield
that can win against bullets.
**[02:43] ---**
It's just like what you said back then.
**[02:51] ---**
I am invincible...
**[03:04] ---**
Shikijo.
**[03:07] ---**
That sack of meat
will be broken to smithereens
**[03:10] ---**
with 200-bullet consecutive firing!
**[03:12] ---**
Whoa, hold it right there!
**[03:15] ---**
Hyottoko right here will take you on!
**[03:19] ---**
Wha—
**[03:20] ---**
Whoa! Don't shoot!
If you shoot too carelessly,
**[03:23] ---**
this sack of oil
will catch fire and go boom!
**[03:27] ---**
Brace yourself!
**[03:29] ---**
I'll be right there!
**[03:31] ---**
D-Don't come here!
**[03:35] ---**
You fell for it.
**[03:37] ---**
If I can't aim for the gut,
I'll just aim everywhere else!
**[03:40] ---**
Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat!
**[03:43] ---**
Hyottoko!
**[03:46] ---**
You're the one that fell for it...
**[03:50] ---**
- Wha—
- Take this!
**[03:52] ---**
Dokusatsu Rasenbyo!
**[03:58] ---**
Beshimi!
**[03:59] ---**
Leader... it didn't work after all.
**[04:04] ---**
Apologies. To the very end...
**[04:08] ---**
we were useless.
**[04:10] ---**
Beshimi. Hyottoko.
**[04:19] ---**
Whew, close. That was close.
**[04:22] ---**
If a street performance
like that did me in,
**[04:25] ---**
it wouldn't even be a joke.
**[04:26] ---**
But now I know for sure!
**[04:29] ---**
Oniwaban are all useless,
no matter how many of you there are!
**[04:32] ---**
From here on, it's the era of the Gatling!
**[04:35] ---**
The ruler of the Gatling
will be the ruler of the world,
**[04:38] ---**
and I will be its pioneer!
**[04:41] ---**
Damn you!
**[04:52] ---**
Battosai.
**[04:54] ---**
How many seconds will it take you
**[04:56] ---**
to pick up that Sakabato
and slice into Kanryu?
**[05:00] ---**
Fifteen.
**[05:01] ---**
No, if I have 10 seconds...
**[05:03] ---**
10 seconds?
**[05:04] ---**
That's going to be a bit rough.
**[05:06] ---**
For what?
**[05:07] ---**
Look.
**[05:09] ---**
Beyond that door is a small lookout tower.
**[05:12] ---**
Megumi Takani is confined there.
**[05:15] ---**
Han'nya?
**[05:17] ---**
It's not like I wasn't thinking
about that woman.
**[05:21] ---**
It just happened
that Lord Aoshi was more precious to me.
**[05:27] ---**
I'm trusting you to take care of the rest,
Himura Battosai.
**[05:30] ---**
Wait, Han'nya!
**[05:57] ---**
Hey, he's been beaten again.
**[06:00] ---**
He's still quite far from being
an opponent for our leader.
**[06:02] ---**
Well, if we work him a bit harder,
he might be of some use.
**[06:07] ---**
Don't stare at me so much.
You're ruining my concentration.
**[06:08] ---**
WINDY RUSSIAN EMPEROR SEAL
**[06:10] ---**
We're just giving you advice.
**[06:10] ---**
WINDY RUSSIAN EMPEROR SEAL
**[06:13] ---**
That's right. You should feel thankful.
**[06:16] ---**
Don't cause too much trouble
for our leader.
**[06:19] ---**
Sheesh. Each and every one of you...
**[06:22] ---**
Are you in pain?
**[06:24] ---**
No.
**[06:26] ---**
Compared to the life I've had so far,
this is basically nothing.
**[06:30] ---**
I see. But it's better if you
don't smile too much during training.
**[06:35] ---**
You create an opening.
**[06:37] ---**
Was I smiling?
**[06:40] ---**
It looked that way to me.
**[06:52] ---**
Was I smiling?
**[07:19] ---**
Using the monster-face
as a decoy to attack.
**[07:22] ---**
A tactic you'd expect from a hitokiri.
**[07:24] ---**
But in the end,
every last one of them died in vain!
**[07:28] ---**
Years of training is useless!
Useless in front of the Gatling!
**[07:31] ---**
Useless trash! Trash! Rubbish!
**[07:33] ---**
Oh, I'm so glad
I was able to buy the Gatling!
**[07:36] ---**
Hooray, me! Hooray, Gatling!
**[07:39] ---**
Hooray, money!
**[07:42] ---**
Die!
**[07:43] ---**
- Kenshin!
- Kenshin!
**[07:44] ---**
Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat! Gat!
**[07:48] ---**
Look closely at what you have.
**[07:50] ---**
It fires 200 rounds every minute.
**[07:53] ---**
If you shoot without thinking
of consequences, you soon will...
**[07:57] ---**
I'm out of bullets?
**[07:59] ---**
Their deaths were not in vain.
**[08:05] ---**
The lives of the four members
of Oniwaban Group
**[08:08] ---**
were victorious over your Gatling gun.
**[08:12] ---**
H-Help m—
**[08:13] ---**
If you're begging for your life,
just ask your money that you love so much!
**[08:24] ---**
As I'd expect from you, Kenshin.
**[08:25] ---**
Even when you're pissed,
you still uphold the refusal to kill.
**[08:32] ---**
Leave him alone for now, that you should.
**[08:36] ---**
You're right.
**[08:37] ---**
Kenshin!
**[08:39] ---**
I'm fine.
**[08:41] ---**
I just faltered a little bit, that I did.
**[08:44] ---**
Let's hurry.
**[08:45] ---**
Miss Megumi is waiting for us.
**[08:46] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:49] ---**
*Aoshi Shinomori. You're quite a strong one
if you can injure Kenshin this much.*
**[08:56] ---**
*But in this battle, the wounds
that you suffered were a lot bigger.*
**[09:15] ---**
The gunshots are over.
**[09:17] ---**
What in the world...
**[09:22] ---**
- Argh! So irritating!
- Argh! So irritating!
**[09:26] ---**
All right! No ambushers!
**[09:29] ---**
Yahiko. Sanosuke.
**[09:31] ---**
Sorry to make you wait, that is.
**[09:33] ---**
Ken-san...
**[09:34] ---**
Those wounds...
**[09:37] ---**
I had a tiny bit of trouble, that I did.
**[09:40] ---**
But more so, I am glad you didn't
suffer any major wounds, that I am.
**[09:45] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[09:48] ---**
I dragged you into this mess,
**[09:50] ---**
and on top of that,
I had you face danger.
**[09:53] ---**
But please rest assured.
**[09:55] ---**
The source of the disaster
will be eliminated soon.
**[09:58] ---**
Miss Megumi!
**[10:00] ---**
With the single thought
of wanting to see my family,
**[10:02] ---**
I have been regretfully living my life.
**[10:05] ---**
But I am truly glad
that I was able to meet all of you
**[10:09] ---**
in the last, final moments.
**[10:11] ---**
Wait!
**[10:12] ---**
Thank you.
**[10:18] ---**
Huh?
**[10:19] ---**
You stupid wench!
**[10:21] ---**
For your sake, Kenshin and Yahiko
devoted themselves to rescuing you!
**[10:25] ---**
And you want to ruin all of their efforts?
**[10:27] ---**
Jeez!
**[10:31] ---**
But there's nothing I can do.
**[10:34] ---**
So many people are in agony
because of my opium,
**[10:38] ---**
and yet I'm trying to be
the only one to avoid punishment.
**[10:45] ---**
Kenshin, this ain't good!
**[10:47] ---**
It's the cops!
**[10:48] ---**
They heard all the ruckus and came over!
**[10:51] ---**
We gotta get out of here quick!
**[10:53] ---**
Come on! Don't just stand there!
**[10:55] ---**
Hey!
**[10:57] ---**
Ken-san.
**[10:59] ---**
This is a family recipe, to stop bleeding.
**[11:01] ---**
Treat the deep wound
on your chest with this.
**[11:05] ---**
Then hurry to a doctor.
**[11:06] ---**
Kanryu built a secret passageway
up in the attic.
**[11:10] ---**
You can go through there
to get out of here.
**[11:13] ---**
Thank you for all you have done.
**[11:17] ---**
The penalty for illicit production
of opium is death.
**[11:21] ---**
You are saying that while
being aware of that fact, that you are?
**[11:24] ---**
Yes. People have died
because of the opium I made.
**[11:28] ---**
I can't allow myself
to get away from here now.
**[11:33] ---**
RUROUNI KENSHIN
**[11:38] ---**
Captain, we found
an illicit production area underground!
**[11:42] ---**
All right, investigate!
**[11:44] ---**
Sheesh. We had been spying on them,
**[11:47] ---**
but I didn't imagine that he
secretly possessed a Gatling gun, too.
**[11:53] ---**
You are...
**[11:56] ---**
That's the woman!
**[11:57] ---**
She's the one
that illicitly created opium!
**[12:00] ---**
The woman who had a hand in all this!
**[12:03] ---**
You can't make excuses, Megumi!
**[12:05] ---**
No matter what the situation is,
you're the one that made the opium!
**[12:09] ---**
We're together to the ends of hell!
**[12:13] ---**
Is that true?
**[12:15] ---**
Ye—
**[12:16] ---**
The answer is "no," that it is.
**[12:17] ---**
Mr. Himura?
**[12:18] ---**
Wha—
**[12:20] ---**
This person is an outstanding
doctor in training, that she is.
**[12:23] ---**
He targeted her so he could force her
to make opium, that he did.
**[12:28] ---**
Don't give them that baloney, Battosai!
That wench is—
**[12:31] ---**
You stay quiet.
**[12:34] ---**
Battosai?
**[12:36] ---**
Isn't that right, Yahiko?
**[12:39] ---**
Yeah! Tokyo samurai Yahiko Myojin
**[12:42] ---**
won't ever swing a sword
for an illicit opium maker!
**[12:47] ---**
Right, Sano?
**[12:48] ---**
Like I'd know.
**[12:50] ---**
I just tagged along for the fight.
**[12:53] ---**
And there you have it, Captain, that is.
**[12:57] ---**
Good enough?
**[13:00] ---**
All right.
**[13:01] ---**
We will conduct a more detailed
investigation at a later time.
**[13:05] ---**
For today, you can take custody
of that woman, Mr. Himura.
**[13:09] ---**
What's up with that?!
**[13:11] ---**
That wench is an accomplice!
**[13:12] ---**
- If you investigate, you'll soon see—
- Shut up!
**[13:14] ---**
Hurry up, and take him away!
**[13:16] ---**
- Yes, sir!
- Damn it!
**[13:17] ---**
You're playing favorites!
**[13:20] ---**
Don't touch!
**[13:22] ---**
That's my Gatling gun!
**[13:24] ---**
Don't violate it with your dirty hands!
**[13:26] ---**
Hurry up, and walk!
**[13:27] ---**
Gat!
**[13:31] ---**
Well, things like this
are okay every so often.
**[13:34] ---**
As long as it's only every so often.
**[13:36] ---**
Ken-san, who in the world are you...
**[13:39] ---**
The crime of murder
has a penalty of death.
**[13:43] ---**
That is one way to atone for it,
but even if you were to die,
**[13:47] ---**
the one you murdered won't
come back to life, that they won't.
**[13:50] ---**
More than that, wielding a sword
for the sake of as many people as possible
**[13:54] ---**
should be atonement
in the true sense of the word.
**[13:58] ---**
That is how Hitokiri Battosai lives
in the current day, that he does.
**[14:02] ---**
Hitokiri Battosai?
**[14:04] ---**
The legendary one?
**[14:05] ---**
The superior medical studies of Takani
**[14:08] ---**
should be able to save more people
than the Battosai's sword.
**[14:13] ---**
You should become a doctor,
Miss Megumi, that you should.
**[14:16] ---**
Be of help to those
in agony from wounds and illnesses
**[14:20] ---**
and not just opium, that you should.
**[14:23] ---**
If you do that,
I'll let the bit about my buddy slide.
**[14:26] ---**
If you do that,
you'll be able to see your family someday!
**[14:30] ---**
Let's go home.
Miss Kaoru is waiting for us, that she is.
**[14:35] ---**
Okay!
**[14:38] ---**
Captain!
**[14:40] ---**
About how you'll deal with Aoshi, that is—
**[14:42] ---**
Aoshi? Who in the world is that?
**[14:45] ---**
By who, I mean the tall man
wearing a coat that was here.
**[14:49] ---**
There's no such man. When we rushed in,
**[14:51] ---**
Kanryu Takeda was the only one
inside the dance hall.
**[14:55] ---**
There were four beheaded corpses,
nothing else.
**[15:00] ---**
Aoshi disappeared?
**[15:03] ---**
There isn't one window in this place.
**[15:05] ---**
That means he should have escaped
through the entrance below!
**[15:08] ---**
All entrances
are secured with police officers!
**[15:11] ---**
It's impossible for someone to escape
without anyone noticing!
**[15:14] ---**
No, there is another entrance,
that there is.
**[15:18] ---**
Kanryu's secret passageway!
**[15:20] ---**
Where is the exit for the passageway?
**[15:21] ---**
It leads out to the grove in the back.
**[15:23] ---**
I'll guide you there!
**[15:26] ---**
The exit is open.
**[15:28] ---**
So he definitely passed through here.
**[15:30] ---**
Look around!
He is surely still somewhere around here!
**[15:34] ---**
Aoshi...
**[15:52] ---**
Wh-What are you doing?
**[15:54] ---**
Hurry up, and capture him!
**[15:56] ---**
Stop it.
**[15:57] ---**
You guys will just get killed.
**[16:00] ---**
It's not your fault.
**[16:02] ---**
They died so that you could live.
**[16:06] ---**
But they surely
don't hold a grudge about that.
**[16:09] ---**
Aoshi...
**[16:10] ---**
fight me one more time.
**[16:13] ---**
Fight me, defeat me,
**[16:16] ---**
and adorn the word "strongest"
on the graves of those four.
**[16:23] ---**
Battosai...
**[16:25] ---**
until I kill you,
make sure nobody else kills you.
**[16:31] ---**
Don't let him get away! After him!
**[16:36] ---**
Kenshin...
**[16:38] ---**
This is how it should be, that it is.
**[16:40] ---**
Words of consolation
are unnecessary for now.
**[16:43] ---**
But then, this means that you will be
the perpetual target now!
**[16:47] ---**
It's all right, that it is.
**[16:51] ---**
Now we should go home for real this time.
**[16:57] ---**
Welcome back!
**[17:00] ---**
We're back.
**[17:01] ---**
Wait, you're covered
in terrible wounds.
**[17:04] ---**
Your fingers as well, Miss Kaoru.
**[17:06] ---**
Well, in any case,
thank you for a job well done!
**[17:09] ---**
I have both a breakfast and a bath ready,
so go on ahead!
**[17:13] ---**
I'm tired, so I'm gonna sleep first.
**[17:15] ---**
Me, too.
**[17:19] ---**
I made it just for you guys!
**[17:22] ---**
Is that so?
**[17:23] ---**
So sleepy!
**[17:24] ---**
I will have some, that I will.
**[17:27] ---**
M-Me, too.
**[17:29] ---**
Is it okay...
**[17:31] ---**
for me to have some?
**[17:35] ---**
- Of course!
- Of course!
**[18:05] ---**
Tastes awful.
**[18:14] ---**
Thank you for all you have done for me.
**[18:16] ---**
I'm sorry. This place isn't that big,
and I can't have any more house guests.
**[18:21] ---**
As you know, a certain someone
comes by for free meals every day.
**[18:26] ---**
Oh, don't worry.
**[18:27] ---**
You even referred me for a live-in job.
**[18:31] ---**
Mr. Gensai being her guarantor
was a lifesaver, that it was.
**[18:35] ---**
Oh, I'd welcome an assistant
like Miss Megumi anytime.
**[18:40] ---**
Um, Ken-san...
**[18:42] ---**
Oro?
**[18:43] ---**
If you ever get sick of Kaoru,
let me know.
**[18:46] ---**
I can be your companion anytime you want.
**[18:50] ---**
Companion for what?
**[18:52] ---**
Hurry up, and get lost, you fox!
**[18:57] ---**
I told you before...
**[18:59] ---**
that missie is simpleminded,
so don't joke around and tease her.
**[19:02] ---**
Oh, but I was serious about that.
**[19:05] ---**
I'd only be joking if the companion
was someone of your caliber.
**[19:08] ---**
You pickin' a fight with me?
**[19:11] ---**
Don't be jealous. No jealousy.
**[19:13] ---**
If you brush up on your manliness
to get to Ken-san's level,
**[19:16] ---**
I can be your companion.
**[19:17] ---**
Man, I thought you'd be a little more
decent after all this, but not at all!
**[19:23] ---**
You're a fool.
**[19:25] ---**
When you're 22 years old,
**[19:27] ---**
you can't correct
your personality anymore.
**[19:31] ---**
That sounds like a line
I heard somewhere else.
**[19:34] ---**
NO FEMALE FOXES
ALLOWED ENTRY!
**[19:35] ---**
So in the end,
what judgment did she receive?
**[19:38] ---**
It seems they settled for her becoming
a witness for the case, that they did.
**[19:45] ---**
However, in the end,
Aoshi is still missing.
**[19:49] ---**
So did you really make yourself a target
to give him a reason to live?
**[19:55] ---**
Until he heals his wounds
**[19:57] ---**
and gains confidence and skill
to definitely beat me.
**[20:02] ---**
Next time, I'm not sure
if I would be able to win.
**[20:04] ---**
What ya talkin' about?
**[20:06] ---**
There's absolutely no way
Kenshin would lose!
**[20:11] ---**
By the way, Sano...
**[20:13] ---**
did you speak with Shikijo at all,
that you did?
**[20:16] ---**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[20:19] ---**
Well, back in Kanryu's mansion...
**[20:22] ---**
*That bird head has quite the potential.*
**[20:26] ---**
*Take good care of him.*
**[20:28] ---**
Don't know.
**[20:30] ---**
We punched, punched,
and punched some more.
**[20:33] ---**
That's about it.
**[20:35] ---**
I see, so it was...
**[20:38] ---**
I wish we were able to chat with them
a bit more, that I do.
**[20:43] ---**
